Check out this amazing public debate between the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) and the Institute for Critical Animal Studies(ICAS) on the topic of whether the law should be the preferred avenue to advance environmental conservation and animal rights. The SSCS is represented by Captain Paul Watson and Brandon Evans who are affirming that the law should be the preferred avenue. ICAS is represented by Bill Shanahan and Trevor Reddick who negate the topic from an anarchist indigenous perspective. The public debate is followed by a speech by Paul Watson and public Q&A. An amazing watch that's worth your time watching without a doubt! Check it out athttp://speechdebate.binghamton.edu/Videos/Debates/Public/113/2013-2014-public-debates/speaker-captain-paul-watson/

International Online Debate Tournament
binghamtondebate replied to binghamtondebate's topic in Other Forms of Debate
The judges are mostly debate coaches and instructors from around the nation. The sponsors mostly provide prizes. As for neg ground, there are tons. You can attack the UN as an actor. You can defend the cultural rights of Japan. You can attack the speciesist bias in protecting only dolphins. There are also tons of other options for neg ground. Last year's topic was about banning vivisection and despite similar sponsors the neg won a bunch of rounds. All of the sponsors understand the value of switch-side debate. Aff ground could include sanctions or other mechanisms of enforcement, value-based debates, among others. My University-wide speech and debate class brainstormed a bunch of ideas of how to approach the topic on both sides. PETA2 is the youth-arm of PETA. As far as I know they just do awareness campaigns and don't do rescue operations. In either world, they're providing a bunch of support so we can provide hundreds of dollars of prizes. -
